Make this a truly memorable event - for all the right reasons!
...plain sailing with Business & Pleasure
Bored with rigid stereo-type events? Looking for a new, different location?
Small is beautiful and that certainly goes for Alderney, this little oasis in the middle of the English Channel. Still relatively untouched by commercial tourism, Alderney provides the perfect location and atmosphere to create original and memorable events for small to medium-size groups.
Our expertise ranges from organising and coordinating conferences and incentive programmes or cultural events and festivals to receptions, weddings, celebration parties, mystery tours and even murder nights.
With Business & Pleasure, you are always guaranteed a totally efficient, discreet and professional service. Every aspect of your event will be tailored to meet your target audience, objectives and budget. We can coordinate virtually all elements of your Alderney programme - from conference facilities and guest speakers, travel, accommodation and catering to entertainment and excursion programmes on the island, to the other islands or nearby Normandy - leaving you to enjoy hosting a successful event.
Managing Director Ilona Soane-Sands offers an impressive track record of highly successful and memorable events which she initiated, coordinated or organised as independent consultant to two Channel Island destination management companies CITS and GTI from 1994 to 1996, and from 1999 to 2005 for the island of Alderney as the States of Alderney's Marketing Manager.
